Скачать или смотреть Duke Energy Progress asking NC regulators for rate hike

A subsidiary of the largest electric power provider in North Carolina is proposing a rate hike under a three-year plan it says will help make improvements to the state's power grid.

Duke Energy Progress, wholly owned by Duke Energy after a merger with Progress Energy in 2012, submitted a rate request to the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) on Thursday. The utility said this marks the first time a rate case submission includes a three-year plan it claims will help fund system improvements. In an online news release, Duke Energy said 75% of spending planned in this time frame will ensure the power grid is more resistant to outages caused by severe weather while also ensuring power is restored when outages do happen.
